Our Work is Not Over

---

​I had a dream the night of the election. A friend came and showed me it was written in the stars: Biden-Harris had won. She repeated this message 3 times. I awoke with a state of calm and serenity, not because the dream had brought about a sense of relief or temporary calm to my anxiety, but because it left me with a sense of clarity and a call to action. Regardless of who is elected, our work here continues. We continue to live according to values that are consistent with love and equality, in alignment with community care, we stand up and speak out when injustices are perpetrated against black and brown lives. The dream cautioned me "do not fall back to sleep, do not get complacent, regardless of how the election goes." I am listening.

​What a week it has been! The tides are changing and our work is more essential now than ever. We can not, must not, individually and as a collective go back to sleep. No more complacency. So we continue our earth work, our healing path. We continue to give voice to our visions of equality and justice. We continue to champion the values we want to see in the world and for our future generations and our children. We continue to make offering and connect with our ancestors. We continue to learn how to live in partnership and reciprocity with the Earth. We continue to gather in communities and support one another in the spirit of collaboration. We continue to build and strengthen our resilience. Together. For all our relations. May it be so.
